hello,
they both mean a future action which is GOING TO take place...
the difference is that "going to" expresses a more sure probability of the action to happen, while "will" mean an intention of doing something in the future which has not been decided yet...

Gramatically speaking "will" is the modal verb qualifying whatever follows and is the correct term in formal use. In normal parlance the phrase "going to" does the same job and is a crossover into English from Norman French; the French still use the construction "je vais" as an alternative to the future tenses and it's a handy get-out clause for o level students who can't remember the future declinations of irregular verbs.
"I will" in the emphatic constitutes implied promise and is often used in weddings. The two are interchangeable otherwise.

In structuring future tense none really.
I will + verb = I am going to + verb.

will is a definite as in i will do that
going to is an inclination to do something that may not happen
well that's what i reckon anyway, if i tell my kids i will do something they know it's going to happen!!
